Last year, @BradNews's doctor prescribed him a new drug to manage his weight. But even as the medicine made losing weight "easy," Brad also saw their limitations. Episode 3 of "Trillion Dollar Shot" from #TheJournal is out now https://t.co/6T1iNvr40y

This is a business story, a health story, a cultural story. And to the many who have struggled for years with their weight, it is also a deeply personal story. Whether you think these drugs are a miracle, or you’re skeptical of what they promise… you should listen!

🚨🚨🚨 BIG news! 🚨🚨🚨

Our unit and @ParcastUnion are becoming one super powerful amazing incredible union! Going forward, we will operate under our new name: Spotify Studios.
Here's why:

[Gimlet Union @GimletUnion]

🚨UPDATE🚨 Our unit is waiting to ratify our hard-won contract because @Spotify STILL hasn’t given us its AI counters! The company has had MONTHS to come up with this language! Our contract expired LAST NIGHT. Stop dragging your feet @Spotify!!!

[Matt Kwong @matt_kwong]

Wake up, @Spotify! Our contract expires in HOURS.

We need meaningful, above-inflation pay increases in order to close a deal. We need some notice of layoffs. We need checks on A.I.

These aren't unreasonable asks for a company with a $50B market cap
